♥ 4:01 PM
The case has just been released and I have some free time till dinner. Well the team arrived on Sunday 0125 and apparently there was a screw up in the printing of the ticket but it was ok. I met up with them at NEC and they were a nice bunch of people to be with just a little too independent. The team went to Sentosa in the morning along with the team from New Zealand and Florida. They went to the underwater world as well as the dolphin lagoon where they enjoyed the performance. I met up with the team after the dolphin performance and we went to play ball at the beach. After playing, we went to Night Safari for dinner at Bongo Burgers and caught the fire performance at 7 where we had a super good view. After dinner, I planned the itinerary for the group and everyone seem to be ok with it but no one actually followed me and I lost my group as they went off without informing me but luckily I saw them at the creatures of the night show and after the show, we went on the tram ride before heading back to school. It was my first time at Night Safari and I enjoyed it especially seeing all the animals, some of which are new to me.
My team from UWO did not want to go for the experience Singapore trip and they went off by themselves to ‘experience Singapore’ themselves without me and I was so worried when Ya Wen told me about it and I was like huh what is happening man and I do not have any of their contacts. I met them at Timbre at 7 and for the whole day I was pretty much slacking and helping Ya Wen if she needs my help. I went out to JP to help Alexandra get some medication and also fruits as he was unwell and at the same time I got a cake for Matt who missed his birthday as they had a plane to catch to Singapore. Well everything that can go wrong went wrong that day and when it was time to serve the cake, the staff could not find it and when they found it, it was melted and destroyed. I was like super pissed and thinking, WTH man. It turn out better at the end as they replaced the cake and give Matt a complementary drink of Timbre tower which had a very visual flaming effect and it was blown out in the end like a candle. Btw the reason was that the staff did not put the cake in the refrigerator. This is my first time encountering such shit and I was like super WTH.
Other than all the mishaps, the night at Timbre was great fun with good food and drinks (paid ourselves). It was also a great time mingling with the other teams and getting to know more people.
Roundtable lunch today was the most formal meal that I have been too and my topic was on green accounting standards. I thought I am going to be lost at the table but turns out its not really accounting accounting. We touched on accounting in general and discuss about carbon credits trading and how it is done in the industry. It was a fruitful discussion and James really had lots of knowledge about it and he presented out ideas.
Its slack time for me till dinner and I think I’ll take a nap.
